A six-month-old, male mongrel dog presented with wet ventral abdominal skin hairs and a short prepuce with penis. In physical examination, the penis was underdeveloped with fusion failure of the prepuce and the urethral opening was in the transitional area between os penis and perineal region. The radiological shape of urinary bladder was normal in positive contrast cystography and there was no any other routes except the observed urethral opening. Cryptochidism was also shown. It was diagnosed as hypospadia. Treatment included castration and resection of remnants of the prepuce and penis.

We operated on 199 patients of VSD from 1976 to April l986. Among them, patients of VSD whose medical records were available were analyzed clinically. Operation on patients of VSD occupied 23.9% of total open heart surgery [832 cases] during those days. Of the 164 patients, 93 patients were male [56.7%]. 71 patients were female [43.3%]. Their age ranged from 6 months to 28 years and the mean age was 9.5 year and 82.2% of the patients were between 2 and 15 year of age. Of the patients, body weight below 10Kg were 19 cases. The most common complaints were frequent URI and DOE. On Kirklin`s anatomical classification, type II defect was most common [60.1%], type I [38.4%], combined type I+II, type III, combined type II+Ill and combined type II+IV in orders. Associated anomaly was found in 66 patients [42.5%>]. Pulmonary stenosis was most commonly associated cardiac anomaly [8.4%] and aortic insufficiency [7.1%], ASD, Lt. SVC and PDA in orders. There were extracardiac anomalies such as polydactyly, cleft palate, hypospadia and congenital aniridia, etc. Relationship between ventricular hypertrophy and defect size and cardiac cath. data was analyzed. The overall mortality was 7.0% [14 cases] and complication rate was 22.5% [35 cases].

A male baby with intrauterine growth retardation had a short neck, small hands and feet, hypospadia, both grade I hydronephrosis, type II atrial septal defect, and moderate valvular pulmonary stenosis. The routine chromosome and banding analyses revealed a 46,XY,rec(8)del(8)(p21)dup(8) (q24.1)inv(8)(p21q24.1)pat chromosome constitution. His mother has normal chromosomes, but the father had 46,XY,inv(8)(p21q24.n Also his uncle had an inv(8) chromosome constitution. We used lymphocytes and examined 40 mitotic cells. All mitotic cells showed deletion of 8p21-->pter and duplication of 8q24.1 -->qter. Because Sp21 involves secretion of macrophage and lymphocyte against cancer cells, long-term follow-up for cancer will be needed.

Bochdalek hernia is the most common congenital diaphragmatic hernia and that of the foramen of Bochdalek is rare in right side of the diaphragm. Two cases of right Bochdalek hernia were reported in literatures published in Korea. The first case was associated with hypoplasia of the lung and could not be survived. The second case [four months old male infant] was operated on August 28, 1971. at Ewha University Hospital arid survived. The third case was a three months old male infant who had been born at 8th lunar month in a private clinic. During the period of three months prior to admission this premature infant was suf-fered from mild respiratory distress measured as pneumonia. On December 20. 1972, this infant was admitted at Kyung Hee University Hospital with severe respiratory distress developed abruptly. Chest X-ray examination [barium study] demonstrated right diaphragmatic hernia. Right hemithorax was filled with intestines and right lobe of the liver which were repositioned back into the peritoneal cavity through the foramen of Bochdalek. 3. 0 cm x3.5 cm in size, and the defect was closed with interrupt mattress sutures. There was hypospadia with chordee but no other associated anomalies such as hypoplasia of the lung, malrotation or malfixation of intestines, and cardiovascular anomalies. The Postoperative hospital course was not eventful and the baby was discharged on the 14th postoperative day.

Hypospadias is a rare congenital malformation of the urethra reported in cattle. The urethral lumen of male indigenous Korean calf is open along the ventral aspect of the penis in the perineal region. Renal abscess and renal stone formation causing urinary tact infection has not been reported in hypospadia calves. The objective of this study was investigation for renal abscess and renal stone formation through autopsy. Histopathological examination and laboratory tests were performed. At autopsy, the pustules were formed on the right renal cortex, and the renal medulla abscess were formed on right and left part of the renal pelvis. Histopathological finding, this case was diagnosed as severe acute suppurative and necrotizing pyelonephritis, and severe chronic interstitial nephritis with fibrosis and moderate multifocal acute cystitis with edema. Milky exudate of the kidney has been identified as Actinomyces meyeri using the VITEK-2 system for identification of bacteria, and the stone has been identified as carbonate apatite using FT-IR system for quantification analysis. This case report describe the hypospadias complicated with urinary tract infection due to carbonate apatite stones and Actinomyces meyeri.

As the defects of the penis caused by trauma, surgical amputation, or congenital abnormality give the patients both psychological trauma and functional impairment, reconstruction of the penis is mandatory. Radial forearm free flap is reliable one-stage procedure, which can reconstruct both the phallus and the urethra. Chang and Whang's adaptation of the "tube-in-a-tube" concept and its incorporation into a free flap design represented a major advance in microsurgical phallic construction. Biemer described a modification of the radial forearm flap design in which the neourethra was centered over the radial artery, but the phallic shaft was separated into two paraurethral swatches. The authors have performed one-stage penile reconstruction in two patients since 1998, using a radial forearm free flap. Our present design incorporates the original Biemer triple skin island and includes a fourth distal island for neoglans. One case was the amputation of the penis from felonious assault and the other case was the iatrogenic penile amputation from repetitive urologic surgery for congenital hypospadia. All patients showed aesthetically acceptable results and good tactile sensory recovery. Severe complications such as necrosis, fistula, or urethral stricture were not occurred. Biemer's method modified by the authors is reliable one-stage penile reconstruction providing good aesthetic and functional results.
